Described as the country’s third busiest airport in terms of both airplane operations and annual passenger numbers, Porto Airport has been fitted with Ganz C-AllView thermal and optical cameras.
The cameras have been integrated with Radar Vision, designed to alert the airport’s security team immediately should it sense a potential intruder at the site perimeter.
Porto Airport protection
Installed by local systems integrator Maxiglobal, the Radar Vision system used has been designed for use in large area perimeter detection, where there is a need for early warning intruder detection and real-time tracking of people and vehicles as they enter the protected area.
According to CBC, Radar Vision provides the airport with 360 degrees radar detection up to 800m-radius per unit.
Radar Vision has been built to remotely control up to five separate Ganz C-Allview PTZ cameras, enabling it to display and track multiple threats simultaneously.
A spokesman for CBC said: “At Porto Airport, the system is combined with optical and thermal CCTV surveillance, providing all-round security using multiple, integrated technologies.
Through fog, mist and rain
“The Ganz C-AllView thermal/optical cameras combine, in one housing, the detection capabilities of thermal infrared imaging with the detail capture of visible-light CCTV.
“These C-AllView dual cameras can observe people, animals and vehicles without the need for artificial lighting, providing images in fog, mist, rain and snow conditions. The optical imaging advantages of Ganz C-AllView cameras include 360 degrees rotation and a tilting head to eliminate blind spots.”
